In order to get Events to work without crashing when closing the
applications, you had to use the 5.1 client. And I had - I think - the
5.5 message file to solve another niggle. 5.6 did not work fully out of
the box - and the problems were not fixed.

IB6 was supposed to be fixing those niggles, but fortunately we got the
first Firebird build before I had to deployed it. ;)

This was 5 years ago and a lot of gray matter has died since then, but
I'm sure the original notes on 5.6 niggles are still around somewhere.
